Only one software is allowed to control the lighting at one time, so if you want to use Armoury, it's necessary to unsync the device in Aura software first.

During gameplay, are the Aura effects controlled by Aura or Armoury?

Righto. I can't synch via Armory as I only have a mouse and you need more than one device.

The Aura effects can be controlled on the mouse by either Aura or Armory; however, my Thermaltake 360 Riing Plus and my mobo/gpu can only be controlled by AURA natually.

The downside is that even if all my RGB is controlled by AURA if I wish to adjust a mouse button, I have to unlink it from AURA, start Armory do the necessary settings, then exit out of Armory and link it to AURA again. I think it's a bit rediculous to add the controls of AURA to another program.
The STRIX program used to control KB and Mouse, now I have to run numerous different programs.

I have a Spatha, Claymore and Maximus IX, till now I was not able to sync all 3. I got the idea that the latest version could (only if the mouse is wired). Again a concession but that better than now, mouse and keybord doing 1 thing, motherboard another.*

Btw i can only sync mouse keyboard after toggling on-off-on!*

Make sure to not sync any peripherals using Armoury. Aura software should be used to sync all three.
